JourneyLoop, Beats, and Belts: Life Updates

Hi friends,

It’s been a while since my last post. I’ve been incredibly busy, so today I’d like to share a few updates and achievements!

TLDR;

• Launching my first product: JourneyLoop

• I’ve produced and released new music: A dance song and a soundbath

• One step closer to black belt: I’ve reached the next rank in my martial arts journey

My first product launch is taking shape

After months of experimenting with different ideas and technologies, I have finally settled on a mission I genuinely care about, a direction that merges tech with real human impact. In close collaboration with my amazing friend Michael Shehane, a successful Silicon Valley leadership coach with 15 years of experience, I am developing JourneyLoop:

Building software that facilitates personal growth and uses AI to foster human connection feels incredibly valuable and satisfying. We’re slowly onboarding our first pilot customers. If you know teachers or coaches who might benefit from this, please send them my way!

I’ve released new music

In my continued effort to find my own form of work-life balance, I managed to take a break from work and reconnect with my passion for music production. My new song “Celebrate” is out on SoundCloud now:

Besides making people dance, I also love to help them chill. As part of AudioAlchemy, the musical collaboration between me and my wonderful partner Caitlin, I’ve released the second part of our elemental soundbath series:

I’ve reached the next stage in my martial arts journey

And as if that wasn’t enough, I’ve also spent the past two months training my ass off to pass the next belt test at Quantum Martial Arts. With lots of blood, sweat and tears, I had the incredible honor to test alongside multiple high-ranking black belts from our dojos across the US west coast:

We laughed, we cried, we broke concrete, we celebrated. I am SO grateful to be a part of this amazing community. The amount of love, growth and support I’ve received at Quantum during my 7 years of training is immeasurable and I am excited to take the last steps towards becoming a black belt.

This is an exciting time in my life. These different journeys I began years ago are finally converging in ways I never anticipated. I’m proud of the progress, humbled by the challenges, and deeply grateful for the people who’ve supported me.

Whether it’s tech, music, or martial arts — if anything in here speaks to you, reach out. I’m always happy to connect.
